Theoretical Investigation of the Interaction of a Deformed Metal with a Corrosion Medium

We deduce an equation for determination of the electric potential in a deformed metal caused by the redistribution of electric charges in the process of deformation. We assume that the charge density of the crystal lattice is determined by a relative change in the volume, and the charge density of the electron gas is determined by the condition of constancy of the electrochemical potential of electrons over the entire volume of the metal. We formulate conditions for the deformable metal–corrosion medium interface and, as an example, consider an infinite metal body containing a circular hole filled by the corrosion medium.
